Neuro-affirming ADHD & Autism Assessments for Adults

Looking for answers about ADHD, Autism, or both?

Many adults spend years wondering why life feels harder than it seems to be for everyone else. You may have been told you’re anxious, sensitive, gifted, disorganized, perfectionistic, or “too much.” You may have learned to mask your struggles so well that few people realize how much effort it takes to get through the day.

At Compassionate Voice, we provide neurodiversity-affirming clinical diagnostic assessments designed to help adults better understand their experiences and determine whether ADHD, Autism, or both may be contributing to their challenges and strengths.

We offer assessments in Greensboro or virtually for adults located anywhere in North Carolina.

Why We Usually Recommend Evaluating for Both ADHD and Autism at The Same time

Research consistently demonstrates significant overlap between ADHD and Autism. Studies have found that ADHD and Autism frequently co-occur, and many high-masking adults discover traits of both neurotypes when they begin exploring their experiences.

For adults who have spent years masking, adapting, and compensating, one neurotype can sometimes obscure the presentation of the other. Evaluating both together often provides a more complete understanding of executive functioning, sensory processing, social communication, attention regulation, burnout, and daily life challenges.

Because of this overlap, we generally recommend evaluating for both ADHD and Autism together whenever possible.

What Makes Our Assessments Different?

Our assessments are conducted by licensed clinical social work professionals who specialize in working with neurodiverse adults from an anti-oppressive lens.

We are a group of neurodiverse clinicians who understand how your brain processes information, relationships, sensory experiences, work demands, and daily life. We take a neurodiversity-affirming approach, meaning we recognize that ADHD and Autism are not simply collections of deficits or symptoms.

Our assessments are clinical diagnostic evaluations. We do not provide neuropsychological testing, cognitive testing, IQ testing, learning disability evaluations, or extensive psychological testing batteries.

If we believe psychological or neuropsychological testing would better meet your needs, we will discuss that openly and provide appropriate referrals.

Not sure where to start?

Schedule a 15–30 minute consultation for $50.

If you move forward with an assessment, the consultation fee is applied toward the cost of your assessment.
